Flights between Jersey and Heathrow cancelled

All flights between Jersey and Heathrow Airport on Friday have been cancelled.

Heathrow Airport was closed early on Friday morning after a fire at a nearby electrical substation that supplies it with power.

As a consequence the 07:00, 10:40 and 16:55 GMT British Airways flights from Jersey to Heathrow were cancelled along with the 09:50, 16:05 and 20:10 flights to the island from the London airport.

A spokesperson for Jersey Airport advised passengers who had been booked on the flights to check with the airline for further information.

A spokesperson from British Airways advised customers due to travel from Heathrow not to travel to the airport until further notice.

They said: "Due to a power outage in the London Heathrow area, London Heathrow Airport is currently closed.

"This will clearly have a significant impact on our operation and our customers and we're working as quickly as possible to update them on their travel options for the next 24 hours and beyond".

A spokesperson for Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, warned of "significant disruption" over the coming days and told passengers not to travel there "under any circumstances" until it reopened.
